About the race
The Copper Corridor Trail Runs are a set of trail races held in and around Superior, Arizona. The event offers four distances:
- 50K
- 32K
- 17K
- 12K
Most races start and finish in downtown Superior; the 12K uses the Superior Public Pool as its start and finish location. Courses travel west from town into Arnett Canyon and include riparian sections, sycamore trees, rock formations, and segments of the Arizona Trail. The 50K includes a loop around Picketpost Mountain.
Aid stations are placed along the courses, typically every 2 to 11 miles, and provide water, ice, an electrolyte drink (Gnarly Fuel 2O), sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. The event is cupless: no paper cups are provided at aid stations and runners must carry their own container. Chip timing is used at the finish, and runners must display bib numbers at aid stations for recording.
Crews may support runners at specified locations, but crews are not permitted to park at the Picketpost trailhead and must meet runners from a parking area located roughly 0.5 to 0.75 miles away. Pacers are not allowed for any distance. Drop bags are available at the start/finish area. Courses are marked with orange ribbons with black polka dots, reflective medallions, laminated turn signs, and checkerboard flagging for wrong-way trails. Medical staff from MedStar Solutions will be on site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
